## What are Agent Skills?
Agent Skills are a lightweight, open format for extending AI agent capabilities with specialized knowledge and workflows.
At its core, a skill is a folder containing a `SKILL.md` file. This file includes metadata (`name` and `description`, at minimum) and instructions that tell an agent how to perform a specific task. Skills can also bundle scripts, reference materials, templates, and other resources.
```
my-skill/
├── SKILL.md # Required: metadata + instructions
├── scripts/ # Optional: executable code
├── references/ # Optional: documentation
├── assets/ # Optional: templates, resources
└── ... # Any additional files or directories
```
## Why Agent Skills?
Agents are increasingly capable, but often don't have the context they need to do real work reliably. Skills solve this by packaging procedural knowledge and company-, team-, and user-specific context into portable, version-controlled folders that agents load on demand. This gives agents:
* **Domain expertise**: Capture specialized knowledge — from legal review processes to data analysis pipelines to presentation formatting — as reusable instructions and resources.
* **Repeatable workflows**: Turn multi-step tasks into consistent, auditable procedures.
* **Cross-product reuse**: Build a skill once and use it across any skills-compatible agent.
## How do Agent Skills work?
Agents load skills through **progressive disclosure**, in three stages:
1. **Discovery**: At startup, agents load only the name and description of each available skill, just enough to know when it might be relevant.
2. **Activation**: When a task matches a skill's description, the agent reads the full `SKILL.md` instructions into context.
3. **Execution**: The agent follows the instructions, optionally executing bundled code or loading referenced files as needed.
Full instructions load only when a task calls for them, so agents can keep many skills on hand with only a small context footprint.
## Where can I use Agent Skills?
Agent Skills are supported by a large number of AI tools and agentic clients — see the [Client Showcase](/clients) to explore some of them!
<LogoCarousel clients={clients} />
## Open development
The Agent Skills format was originally developed by [Anthropic](https://www.anthropic.com/), released as an open standard, and has been adopted by a growing number of agent products. The standard is open to contributions from the broader ecosystem.
